We are planning a 'last watched' view (I actually even started with it). This should probably be very useful for most people, because most of the time people continue watching a series they were watching earlier.

This is a - excellent idea! Looking forward to this function - Is going to make usability much better I believe!
Another Idea - What about using the Tags to give presorted Lists? - I think there was (is? - couldn't find it any more) a option to search using these - only the list is a rather fast growing one - so maybe giving a selection option over the config what Tag's you want to use in the GUI? To make it more handy?

I'm afraid I don't understand the question... what do you mean with T9 mapping? Are you referring to searching with T9 input?
Searching in T9 input mode is already possible (in all views). You can switch the current input mode with ctrl+M.
Do you mean genres with 'tags'? I believe we intend to implement some kind of filtering using the genres (see Issue #39), I have no idea when that's going to happen though...
Well - in Anidb you have Categories (like Adevnture, Comedy, Mecha, ...) and Tags (like all hail to the tail, European stylized, animal ears, ...) - wasn't there already the option to use them to filter? If you have big lists of Animes - everything can become useful - but if you are already on it I'm sure it becomes part of it sooner or later.
Ah, thanks. Seems like I missed it
I was desperatly looking for a setup entry in the configs and assumed it is not implemented.
There was one a suggestion by another user to implement a filtering of the hits to narrow down the selection. Are there any plans to implement this?
Cheers,
On AniDB itself I can only see 'categories', which in the plugin are displayed as 'genres' ... I can't find any 'tags'.
For example for Phantom ~Requiem for the Phantom~:
In the top there's 'categories':
A little lower there's again 'Categories', this time displayed as a tag cloud. It looks as if all categories larger than a certain size in this tag claud are displayed at the top.
With the API we can retrieve the 'category list' and the 'category weight list', so we can mimic this behavior of AniDB.
In the future we will implement some kind of filtering with the genres/categories. Maybe other things could be useful (maybe multiple custom-filtered views?) ... If you have good suggestions, let them come!
Yes, some kind of help file, feature list of tips&tricks might be helpful ... We'll have to think about that.
Regarding the find function: I was trying to make the feature as little intrusive as possible. That's why the find panel doesn't steal focus and disappears automatically. In some skins there is very little space for a find panel, let alone for a match list ... hence the current solution.
Wait .... I just thought of another possibility: We could just use the normal list, and hide all non-matching items? That should be easy to implement. And I could make it optional, in case some people don't like it ... I'll look into it.
This was what I had also in my mind.
Should be a rather nice functional extension of the current list
Using primarily the remote for control, may I also propose that the ESC-button (which I use for going backwards) have the same function in the entry field as the backspace button or for leaving the filter selection?
Backspace is normally not mapped to the remote (and also hard to find a free key anymore) and pushing the ESC brings you to the next higher menu level (which is normally the main home screen)
Cheers & Thanks,

Ok, I already implemented the filter-list-when-searching. It still needs some tweaking, but works very nicely!
It was a very good idea indeed, why didn't I think of that sooner?
Regarding the ESC key, I assume you mean the EXIT key (that's the only one I've got on my harmony or MCE remote)?
I could indeed map this to something else while the find is active, and 'stop find' seems the best I think.
Apart from that: You do know that in T9 mode * has the backspace function?
